Birmingham is the second-largest city in the UK, so you're sure to be spoilt for choice when choosing a garage. Getting around the city is easy, with eight local rail lines, trams run by West Midlands Metro and regular buses by Arriva. There is a congestion charge zone, known as the Birmingham Clean Air Zone, inside the A4540 Middleway Ring Road. You may have to pay if you enter it.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Birmingham to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Birmingham, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

You may encounter a congestion charge in some parts of Birmingham. Congestion charges are used to reduce the number of vehicles driving in a busy area, often a city centre, by making drivers pay a daily tariff to enter them. The charging zone usually operates at certain times, and once you have paid, you can leave, drive around and re-enter it as many times as you would like within that day.

The same applies to electric car repairs.There are some key differences between EV servicing vs petrol engine servicing. Electric vehicles need servicing less frequently because they have fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion cars, so fewer components require attention. However, regular electric car maintenance is essential, and you should always stick to the intervals laid out in your servicing schedule.Regarding EV vs hybrid car servicing, while electric cars are cheaper to service, hybrids are often more expensive than regular diesel or petrol cars because they have both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that needs maintenance.
